Zero Oil Palak Gravy
This is one of the most healthiest and easy peasy palak recipe. Perfect with a bowl of steamed rice and curd, ideal for toddlers, growing kids and even adults. I have grown up on this recipe. I think my mom learnt it from my paternal grandmother. Do not skip the garlic, for it imparts a unique flavour to leafy vegetables as my mom always say. You can replace spinach with any other green leafy vegetable like amaranth leaves. To make it more tastier, you can sprinkle a teaspoon of coconut oil or ghee.
Ingredients:
- Spinach a bunch
- Potato 2 medium
- Onion 1 big
- Garlic cloves 4-5
- Green chillie 2-3
- Salt to taste
- Turmeric powder a pinch
- Coconut oil/ghee 1 tsp (optional)
Method:
- Clean and wash the spinach leaves thoroughly. Chop it finely and keep aside. Peel the potatoes and chop it roughly. Slice the onion, green chillies and peel garlic cloves.
- Take a pressure cooker/pan and add the chopped vegetables, salt and turmeric powder.
- Sprinkle little water and cook till you hear one whistle. Reduce the flame and cook for 3-4 minutes more. Switch off the fire and allow it to cool.
- Mash the cooked veggies with a potato masher and drizzle some coconut oil or ghee on top if desired.
- Serve it hot with steamed rice and a bowl of curd.
